The ship owner leaves the ship and fills the ship form in the freight reading hall at the shore gate and handes it in. The clerk leads the ship owner and the drill hand to upload and inspect. After the inspection is correct, the ship owner can go to the silver cabinet to pay the silver money. Then Lingde ship collects one. When the switch is released, collects the deposit and passes the inspection.

According to relevant historical records in the Ming Dynasty, in the 16th year of Chenghua, each banknote was taxed for more than 120,000 taels of tax. From the early years of Jiajing to the early years of Wanli, the annual tax was taxed for about 230,000 taels. By the middle of the Wanli period, the tax was taxed for more than 330,000 taels. By the first year of Tianqi, it increased to more than 520,000 taels.

Taking Linqing Cash Pass as an example, during the Wanli period, more than 80,000 taels of commercial silver were collected from ship materials and commercial silver. It was guarded by the eight major banknotes in the country. It accounted for 1/4 of the overall tax amount. However, the tax collected by the Shandong prefect at that time was only 8,800 taels of tax. It was only 1/10 of the Linqing Cash Pass.

After collecting so much silver from the cashier, can you just collect all the money you should collect? It’s not the case at all! The silver they collected is just a drop in the bucket! Because those who successfully collect taxes only collect merchant ships, official ships, and tribute ships that transport tributes do not need to be taxed.

Moreover, the canal is narrow and requires passing through the locks, canals, merchant ships and tribute ships. Merchant ships need to queue up and often have to wait for many days.

Therefore, many merchants will give some money to the canal ships, official ships and tribute ships to help transport goods, so that they don’t have to queue up and save taxes! The canal ships, official ships and tribute ships earn an extra income, which can be said to be a two-way deal! The only inconvenience is that the country has lost a piece of tax revenue!

Not to mention anything else, when the canal ship comes north, they have to privately carry some southern goods to the north to sell and make money to serve as the cost of canal transportation along the way. Later, when everyone found that it was profitable, more and more cargoes were carried! So much more cargo was carried than the regular goods transported in the canal transportation!

By the first year of Hongxi (1425), the supreme rulers of the Ming Dynasty had to admit this reality, so they issued an edict saying: "The official army transported grain with a long way, hard work, cold and heat were exposed, and they were constantly resting day and night. They had shallow trade, and the grain was consumed and rice was reduced, and the company also asked them to make compensation. I have very mercy. In the future, except for transporting the grain, they would not be able to stop them."

This is equivalent to opening an opening for them

, you can play freely! But it would be fine if you just bring some goods by the way, as long as it is not too much, the country will not care.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, these behaviors became more and more excessive. Some tributes could be shipped by one ship, but ten ships were required, and the extra ships were used to load goods. Some officials came to Beijing and left Beijing and must carry goods with them. This is a clear rule; but what should some officials do if they don’t have a ship? That’s even simpler. Some merchant ships welcome officials to sit there!

Merchant ships are not only free of charge, but also serve them with good food and drink. They have to give them some money when they leave! These merchants do this because when officials are there, the merchant ships are official ships, and taxes along the way are exempted!

Later, it didn't matter whether there were officials on the boat to accompany the boat. As long as you buy a water sign from the official, the flag could open up the north and south of the canal without paying taxes! So the merchants all defected to powerful officials, eunuchs, princes and others, and set up a water sign on the boat, which could play a tax-free role!

As a result, fewer and fewer merchant ships paid taxes, and there were official ships everywhere on the canal! From Hongwu to Chongzhen for more than two hundred years, the capital of the Ming Dynasty increased by many times, and the merchant ships traveling to and from the canal increased by a hundred times, but the tax collected by the cash gate only increased slowly, and only four or five times in more than two hundred years! The emperor also became the name of levying heavy taxes, but he didn't know that the extra silver was earned by the gentry after evading taxes!

The three armies each had 800 people, and they each dragged two artillery pieces. There was a small team behind the team followed closely, but these people were not wearing military uniforms. Their purpose was to occupy the money gates in these three places and make them use it for themselves.

Just after noon that day, a team of troops were advancing quickly towards them at Chaoguan outside Jining City, but they didn't care. After all, the war never affected Jining City. So when the troops arrived near the front, the guards did not react.

Because the number of people and is more important, the area covers a large area. It is completely imitated in the style of a military camp. There are also walls and four doors. However, one side is built by Linhe.

It was afternoon, and the people in Chaoguan had just finished their meal.

He was resting, but he didn't want to be directly broken into the door by a team of people and rushed in. The guards wanted to step forward to stop him, but they were knocked to the ground by these people, and then tied up and threw it aside.

In less than a moment, the entire cash gate was completely occupied by this group of people! This action scared everyone to fear! The first thing they thought of was not something else, but a thief came to steal the money! One by one, they cried and cried, hiding and hiding! They were in a mess for a while!

After a while, the group controlled all the rooms and drove everyone to the yard. Even the guards who were captured alive were thrown away.

This is a person who looks like an officer and said, "Everyone has heard it clearly! I will take over the Chaoguan under the order of my general! From today on, all of you will obey my command!"

When everyone heard that it was not the one who came to rob the silver or the thieves were causing trouble, they immediately became more courageous. One of the National People's Congress in the crowd said bravely: "Who is your general?"

The officer said: "Our General is the Shandong General Lord Liu! You are the one who is Liu Huipei!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the yard suddenly became chaotic. For a moment, everything was said, but I couldn't hear clearly. The officers repeatedly signaled everyone to calm down. Not only did it not work, but it made the people in the middle of the venue even more yell!

The officer simply pulled out a short gun from his waist and fired a gun into the sky. The huge sound calmed the scene. While loading the medicine, the officer said loudly: "What do you want to say? Say it one by one! Why are you arguing?"

At this time, a man strode forward, no matter how he had just crawled under the table, pointed at the officer and said, "You bold thief, you are a military officer! How dare you disturb the cash gate? Go back quickly, otherwise I will submit a copy of your boss! I am afraid that he will not be able to take it at that time!"

The officer looked at him with his eyes squinted and said, "Who are you? I'll sign up! What position?"

The man raised his head and said, "My surname is Yang, and I am the Censor of the Chaoguan of this office! Why don't you pay a visit to me?"
